'Credits' are From Europe With Love's way of
charging for quick translations, writing and research tasks where you do not have a
retainer agreement with us. Credits eliminate the traditional barriers to such tasks
- you need it, you call, we agree how many credits, these are deducted from your balance
and the work gets done.
'Credits'
have a nominal value of £25 ($40/€XX)
each and can be purchased - in advance - in blocks of 10, 20 and 50. Ten credits
therefore cost £250 ($400/€XX) twenty credits cost £500
($800/€XX), while blocks of fifty credits
benefit from a discount and cost £1,000 ($1,600/€XX). Amounts other than these can,
of course, be bought from From Europe With Love.. you may find you want more, for
example, if a significant number of people within your organisation have access to 'Page 17' or use the services of From Europe With Love.

'Writing' where source material in other languages is concerned does not incur a separate
translation charge unless a separate translation of individual material is requested |

There are occasions when credits may not be
appropriate. Certain translation/writing/research tasks may be better suited to an
agreed fee. If this is the case, From Europe With Love will talk with you to agree
this fee/retainer, then get on with the work.
